158-162 New Kent Road (opposite BP)

If the occupiers of the properties at the above address' are on the forum, can they cut back the over hanging branching on the footpath. I was knocked by a cyclist this morning trying to dodge getting my eye poked out.

I do not think its the responsbility of the council to main trees within your boundary wall.

Agree - they're becoming a real hazard - and there are some in Balfour Street round the corner too. I suspect any passer-by could trim them... as long as they didn't remove the branches but returned them to the owner.... tempting to take secateurs on my next trip to the bus stop!

good pair of secatours Pops if they are not removed, then throw them into the offending garden! You can ring the council and they can send someone round and insist they get cut back because of the danger of blind people poking their eye out. Not sure what dept. that would come under now..

Pops kit used to come under the same department that would tell shops to move their signs/chairs etc., try highways...or phone the old 7525 5000 number see if you get one of the old telephonists, they will know.
